The best of the best
Mr Hancock is a very professional and tenacious. He has helped me and my family so much. He fights hard for his clients and is there for you every step of the way. I wouldn't consider even looking at another lawyer. He truly is the best.

Prompt, Efficient, and Friendly
Mr. Hancock has prepared and reviewed several legal documents for me over the years and has always been prompt, efficient, and friendly. Any time I need legal advice, I know I can count on him to steer me in the right direction. When needed, I will continue to call on him in the future. While I have not had any criminal cases against me, I would feel confident hiring Mr. Hancock to be my attorney.

Defense Lawyer
Dan did a great job of helping me clear up an old DUI case in another state. He was able to get my driving privileges reinstated quickly. Great work

Poor
A lawyer is supposed to up hold the law and he does not! Between many no shows and no calls my friend lost his case.. Maybe if wasn't in a relationship with someone who knew of an adult sleeping with a minor he would stand for laws to be set straight.

Shady
Mr. Hancock was hired and paid in full to defend my husband in a criminal case. Their first meeting was in a parking lot....what?! Husband has since been to court three times. This lawyer hasn't shown one time. He also will not answer his phone or return calls. In my opinion Mr. Hancock should face criminal charges...he was paid in full to defend a client, then a no show. This to me is theft. Also, when we are a no show in court, they put a warrant out for us. The same should apply to everyone whether you are the lawyer or the defendant. This is ludicrous. My husband is not his only victim. There are more. I just don't understand how an attorney can just do this to people with no consequences whatsoever.

PLEASE DON'T WASTE THE MONEY OR RISK YOUR FREEDOM!!!
If you or your loved one's freedom is on the line, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! About 10 years ago, I was referred to Mr. Hancock by another attorney to represent my husband due to his cases location being in KY (he is licensed to practice in both states). He kept communication lines open, displayed a respectable and strong presence in the courtroom, treated my husband with respect and fought for him while also working with me, allowing us to make payments. With that said, it was for all these reasons that we contacted Mr. Hancock a few weeks ago in hopes of retaining him for my husband's defense counsel in regards to a more recent matter. Mr. Hancock, again agreed to represent my husband and stated that we could make payments but that he would need a deposit of $1k, which we agreed to. It took us a few days but we were able to procure the funds and once we did, we made NUMEROUS calls to both numbers that are publicly listed for Me. Hancock over the next few days, leaving voicemails that we had the down payment plus some. After leaving MULTIPLE messages with no response, I then proceeded to text Mr. Hancock a slew of messages (all of which were completely respectful in nature), asking for any response, at this point, even if he had, for some reason, decided not to take the case. Nothing and he had been informed and was knowledgeable about the urgency due to his court date being only a couple days away. I understand that things happen and situations arise that are personal and even emergencies in some instances but to this day, we have yet to hear from him. SO AGAIN I REPEAT, DO NOT WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON THIS MAN-- HE HAS SHOWN NO RESPECT OR EMPATHY OR REGARDS FOR US AND FOR WHAT REASON? YOU DONT DO THAT TO SOMEONE...ESPECIALLY A FATHER OF 4 CHILDREN WHOSE FREEDOM IS AT STAKE, WHO HAS ALWAYS PAID ON TIME, BEEN RESPECTFUL, AND NEVER GIVEN ANY REASON FOR THIS BLATANT DISREGARD!!
